Gaming
Favorite Game (Current)? – Mass Effect 2
Favorite Game (All Time)? – The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
How did you choose your GT? - I was a very odd 16 year old when Xbox Live was first released. I was going to set my gamertag as the same alias I had been using to play Halo 1 multiplayer, Jahova. It was taken. So then I tried Sausage Mahonay. "Sausage Mahonay" was a quote from The Brak Show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. To my shock, it was actually taken as well. So I shortened it down to Mahonay and the rest is history.
What is your gaming set up like? – For RPGs and slower paced games I play on my 42" Samsung Plasma. As the case with most large HDTVs it creates some feedback latency. Any game that requires a little more precise timing I move down to my 27 inch wide screened monitor. I have an Xbox 360 with 30+ games. I have a Dreamcast I've been mucking around with as well.
What games are you looking forward to? - I'd have to say right now the number one game I'm looking forward to is the next entry in the Mass Effect series whatever it may be. Besides that I'm gearing up for the Vietnam DLC for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
What Xbox 360 Achievement are you most proud of? – I don't keep track of my achievements or go out of my way to get them. I know, I'm a heretic.
What does your significant other think about your gaming? – Well, when I was still dating my last girlfriend she definitely thought it was nerdy and I probably spent too much time playing. I did get her to play Lego Indiana Jones with me which she liked. Funnier attempts were WoW and Halo. She was a surprisingly good Warthog driver.

How did you arrive at SG? – Some tall red haired woman who had an interview on Bungie.net. I think her name was something like SuperAssClown? I don't remember.
What is it that makes you keep coming back to the SG Forums? – I have made some incredible friends here at SG. I can't believe I'm saying something so incredibly cheesy, but SG is like my second family. And of course this place makes multiplayer gaming a pretty amazing thing. It's an experience I truly believe you can't get at any other online community.
What SG thread is most memorable to you? Why? – I would say the Jaleeb Database. Hands down.
Best SG Moment? - The last Texas Round Up out at the lake. Few times I have partied that hard
Personal
Hobbies, other than Gaming? - Sketching, discovering obscure music, keeping up on current science.
Favorite movie/TV show/book? – Favorite movie: Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Favorite TV show: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Books? I don't read because I'm illiterate. This interview is spoken but not written.
Favorite gift you've ever received? – Sega Dreamcast when I was 13.
You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up? Why? - Pat Robertson. He represents to me what's wrong with much of the world today.
What real life achievement are you most proud of? – Moving to NYC when I was 20, landing a job that requires a college degree (which I don't have), and making it my first career after 4 years.
What do you do for a living (and/or) what is your dream job? – I work at a post production house in the flatiron district of Manhattan. We edit and color correct main stream commercials and short films. I'm on the operations end, doing all of the company purchasing, some IT work, some management duties, etc. My dream job would be in the gaming industry, naturally.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would you bring with you? Why? – A hot girl of my choosing, jerking off would get old real fast. A sketch book, you could get pretty creative with that amount of time. An iPod that never runs out of power, because that exists.
What is your guilty pleasure Disney movie? - I guess Pirates of the Caribbean? I don't really like Disney, but I do like the Pirates movies.
Share one thing interesting thing about yourself that many folks might not know. – At one point in my life I was extremely athletic. I had played about 11 years of soccer where in the later years I actually received MVP awards, was usually captain of the team, all of those good things. Then I made the dumb decision that I liked skateboarding more, which is pretty hard on your body so you couldn't really do both. I did that for about 4 years, got really good and decided I wanted to have full use of my knees and ankles by the time I was 30. So I stopped skating. To this day I regret choosing skateboarding over soccer right around the start of high school. Exceeding in a high school sport probably would of really motivated me to do well in school, rather than being involved in the anti-school skate scene. Now at 24 I've been thinking of getting back into skateboarding at the very least, my days of being a talented soccer player has long passed me though.
When you were little, who was your favorite super hero and why? - Batman. He was just amazingly bad ass, while being calm and collected at the same time. I also had the fortunace of being able to watch the amazing Batman cartoon series on WB right around the age most kids get into super heroes. The same series where Mark Hamill first started voicing the Joker.
You wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren't really doing anything, they're just standing around your bed. What do you do? - Leave my god damn apartment.
Name something that you lied to your parents about that you still haven't come clean on? - How much school I actually skipped as a kid and in high school. It was a lot...
What is your go-to karaoke/Rock Band song? - My ultimate karaoke song is Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six.

Who knew Mahonay could play soccer?

It's easy to play soccer when your small stature allows you to play with the kindergartners.

I actually bought a new skateboard. Was using it here and there when the weather was warmer. Felt good to cruise around again. Also dear god I am out of shape.

This is a really old article from the home page. When I did the Meet the N00B article, I wanted it to post in the forums somewhere, so I did that and it posted those old ones here.

Glad you did or I wouldn't have seen it. I don't get to the front page other than when I mark all topics as read. Even then, I quickly click back to the forums.

Someone should tell Mahonay that the Vietnam DLC for Bad Company 2 has been out for a while now...

WHAT!? Why did no one tell me?

Skateing is so fun. Even though it hurts about 100 times more then it used to there is no better feeling.
